What Could A Spreading Red Rash Following Laparoscopic Appendectomy Indicate?
My son had his appendix removed w/ the laparoscopy procedure this past Saturday afternoon. He now has a deep red rash on his stomach, going down his legs, and on his ankles. It doesn't seem to itch. Is this a reaction to the pain med and/or anesthesia?

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, this could be allergic reaction could be due to some medicine he might be given and this can be managed with "Tab Diphenhydramine three times in day" and no need to worry about this, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
